Peroxisomes are dispensable for normal renal function.


ABSTRACT: Peroxisomes are highly abundant in proximal tubules where peroxisomal enzymes have been proposed to play an important role in a variety of metabolic and antioxidant functions. This hypothesis was supported by human genetic studies that identified mutations leading to peroxisomal biogenesis deficiency, resulting in severe multi-organ damage (Zellweger’s spectrum disorders (ZSD)), including renal impairment. However, the role of proximal tubule peroxisomes in renal (patho)physiology remains uninvestigated. We addressed this question in mice with conditional ablation of peroxisomal biogenesis in the renal tubule. Our results demonstrate that renal tubular peroxisomes are dispensable for normal renal function and suggest that renal damage in ZSD patients is of extrarenal origin.
